Vulnerability Analysis of GWireless

Cryptography and Security 2015-08-11 v1

Abstract

Wireless networking has become very popular in recent years due to the increase in adoption of mobile devices. As more and more employees demand for Wi-Fi access for their devices, more companies have been jumping onto the "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) bandwagon[1] to appease their employees. One such example of an enterprise wireless infrastructure is the George Washington University's GWireless. For this project, I will attempt to capture hashes of authentication credentials from users who are connecting to the GWireless network using what is commonly known as the "evil twin" attack. I will document the hardware, software used and steps taken to configure the devices. I will then evaluate the feasibility of such an attack, explore variations of the attack and document measures that can be taken to prevent such an attack.
